Visiting Teaching August Quote Poster

I came across this idea from another blog about creating a visiting teaching, quote poster, and hanging it up in the Relief Society room each month.  I loved the idea and I have been doing this now for approximately 5 months.  I enjoy having a reminder of the visiting teaching message hanging in view during the entire month.  The following photo is what I created for the month of August.  I love this quote by Sister Linda K. Burton.  Not only for our families and friends, but how often are kind words spoken to those we meet along the way?!…….Great Reminder!

Young Robin Sprinkler Bird Bath

Yesterday (July 25, 2016) as I was looking out our kitchen window, I saw a young robin, using the sprinklers as a bird bath.  It was so cute watching him duck in the grass as if he/she was actually taking a dip in a bird bath.  I love animals, of all kinds and I feel so fortunate to live in such an area that I have the opportunity to see so many of God's living creations.

Garden in July

The following pictures were taken of our garden on the 18th of July.  My husband has such a green thumb.  Considering where we live, his garden does fabulous.  Due to a shorter growing season, we take our chances on planting corn and tomatoes, but each year, the Lord blesses us and we get our crop.

My husband thought it would be nice to plant flowers around the garden this year.  So, flowers it was……..and they look so nice.

July Horseshoe Tree

Wow, summer hits and things get a bit busy around here.  As a matter of fact, I didn’t even change my horseshoe tree for the month of June.  For July, I had everything, but didn’t even get it changed until the 2nd……almost missing the 4th.  But, I did get it changed out from the month of May……………….yeah, better late, than never.

Oh dear, it’s almost August and I haven’t even thought about what to put on my horseshoe tree.  Maybe something to do with school, or…………………………..?  Or, maybe………………………?  My mind is at a total blank for August………….Hmmmmmm.
